Is there anything I can do to temporarily mask a discoloured tooth?

Wednesday, March 16th, 2011
Q.

Around 6 weeks ago I had a bad fall and damaged my front upper tooth. Since then I had a root canal as the nerve began to die and it has left the tooth severely discoloured. My dentist is reluctant to do anything for a few months as he wants to wait until the colour has stopped changing. I, on the other hand am desperate to get it fixed as I am very self conscious of it. My dentist has suggested that I have a veneer eventually, but is there anything I can do in the meatime to disguise it? Or should I just have the veneer now to save myself this heartache?

Q.

Hi, my main front two teeth are the problem, one of which is chipped and i am having a crown put over it but i don’t see this as the final solution as i have been told they are noticeable which i do not want. The other tooth has become discoloured and has become dull after receiving a “impact” whilst playing rugby could you pleaser tell me what would be the best options for me and how much they are likely to cost? Many thanks

What can be done to restore discoloured front tooth after root canal failed?

Tuesday, October 19th, 2010
Q.
i want to see if i can restore the discoloured front tooth, it’s ‘dead’ after a root canel treatment, i was told by my previous dentist that the blood supply stopped going to the tooth. Took the advice tried the filling but the coverage is only 50% and I don’t like the ‘bump’ as the filling is not in alignment with the rest of the teeth. Please advise,

One of my front teeth is noticeably discoloured. What you you suggest for fixing this issue without a crown?

Q.
one of my top front teeth is discoloured and is always noticable more on photographs. What would you suggest is the answer to matching it up with the other teeth without having a crown as apart from a flling in the back of it it’s perfectly sound.,

I have a discoloured tooth under my crown, why is this?

Thursday, June 17th, 2010
Q.
I have a gold crown in one of my molars and the tooth underneath is discoloured. I don’t know if I had root canal treatment in that tooth or not. It’s not yellow or grey, but an even, brown colour over the whole area that can be seen – is it likely to be just discolouration rather than decay? I don’t have any pain or problems with it. I’m going to have my dentist look at it in two weeks but I’m a very anxious patient so wondered if you could warn me what I might expect.,

Should I have lava crowns?

Monday, March 29th, 2010
Q.
I had root canal treatment on my front tooth but all the root could not be removed the dentist showed me this on xray. The tooth was discoloured and I had veneers on both front teeth which looked good. The tooth is now discoloured again and the dentist explained that it was the dead root reflecting through and has suggested lava crowns.Could the same happen if I had the lava crowns.,

I would like implants but am scared of the dentist – can you help me?

Friday, February 12th, 2010
Q.
As a child my front teeth stuck out and my carers were advised by professionals to remove one tooth form each side inorder for my front teeth to spread out. The braces helped however left gaps on each side. I have a bridge on my left side however I can see black/grey on top of the tooth near my gums. I have a gap on my right side which makes me feel uncomfortable. Plus one of my front tooth has discoloured and I think it my be a dead tooth.I have had bad experience with my teeth therefore very scared of going to the dentist. I would like implants but apprehensive and worried about the cost, how long it would take and the end result.Are you willing to take on a challenge? Can you help me? I am from Birmingham?,
